Embark on an unforgettable trail running adventure at the Larrabee Lakes race, set for Saturday, August 8, 2026, in the scenic heart of Bellingham, WA. Offering 50K, 25K, and 12K distances, this event, quickly becoming a classic in the Evergreen Trail Series, promises a challenging yet breathtaking experience for every runner. All races kick off and conclude at Fairhaven Park, beginning with a gentle warm-up along the Interurban Trail before delving into the diverse and demanding terrain of Larrabee State Park.

Prepare for a course that showcases the unique geology of the Chuckanut Mountains, guiding you through lush green forests, past picturesque lakes, and up to narrow ridgelines offering "peek-a-boo views" of majestic Mt. Baker and Bellingham Bay. While all distances feature smooth singletrack, runners should anticipate significant elevation gain and sections of rough, steep, and rocky terrain. The 25K includes an infamous ridge trail with technical ups and downs and even a set of stairs, while the 50K is an epic journey with strenuous climbs, including one from Lake Samish Drive, an out-and-back to the Pine and Cedar Aid Station, and a challenging loop around Cedar Lake and past Fragrance Lake. Aid stations along the course, like Lost Lake, are renowned for being fully stocked with great snacks and friendly volunteers, ensuring you're well-supported throughout your race.

Runners consistently praise Larrabee Lakes for its beautiful and challenging course, excellent organization, and vibrant atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in early August are pleasant, with historical highs around 76°F and lows around 54°F, accompanied by a mere 3% chance of precipitation. Cross the finish line and be rewarded with a unique, handcrafted race award, a cherished memento of your achievement on these remarkable trails.
